I withdraw that idea. It appears that the platform SDK doesn't (any longer?) provide an import library for msvrt.dll, and Microsoft documents mscvrt as intended only for "system components".

Insofar as it forms a base on which other separately- compiled pieces of code run, it seems to me that Python itself deserves to be classed as a "system component".

Although I concede that's probably not quite what Microsoft mean by the term...
